Like his running mate, John McCain is clearly not patriotic. You can tell. He didn’t wear a flag pin during his acceptance speech at the RNC last night. I want to thank all the conservatives out there for making it so easy for Americans to distinguish true patriots from America-haters. Who knew it could be so easy? I’m just sayin’…

I wasn’t going to say much more about Palin because, well, I think her celebrity this week will soon fade and, as facts about her continue to come out (like the fact that she went to 6 colleges before graduating) the shine will wear off. But I’m reprinting an email from a Wasilla, AK resident, Anne Kilkenny that is quite […]

There were two for me. The runner-up was this one: Tom Ridge calling Senator McCain “John Bush”. Priceless. However, the best one was this. It came just after the Republicans showed a shameless, exploitative “tribute” to 9/11, thereby using thousands of dead Americans as a backdrop for their own political gain. Shameless. Olbermann nails it perfectly. I’m just sayin’…

“Look, I’ve been called worse on the basketball court.” Awesome. Biden, Obama, and McCain are all doing the talk show circuit this weekend. Sarah Fey Palin? Uh…not. She’s got a LOT of homework to do between now and October 2nd when she debates Joe Biden. That’s gonna be an amazing event. Ms. Palin’s got some work to do, methinks. No […]

Brilliant satirical analysis from Roger Simon at Politico: On behalf of the media, I would like to say we are sorry. On behalf of the elite media, I would like to say we are very sorry. We have asked questions this week that we should never have asked. We have asked pathetic questions like: Who is Sarah Palin? What is […]

* Did she really call herself “a Pit Bull with Lipstick”? Good thing the sexist mainstream media and Obama campaign didn’t do that! LOL * She’s a maverick reformer? Really? What about those earmarks she bragged about??? The ones that McCain derided? That’s reform? * Nobody is allowed to talk about her family but she brings her daughter’s boyfriend (the […]

Well then. Wasn’t that just speshul? Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, Rudy Giuliani and Sarah Palin dished out the nastiness and the lies and the personal attacks with a giant spoon last night. My take on it: * Romney is trying to be Ronald Reagan so hard that it’s actually painful to watch. Oh, and he fails, too.* Huckabee was a […]
